I'm reading thesis right now and I could say that it is very well-written text.

Markup-based DTP was my interest for many years, and I happy to see new full-featured players on this field.

MarkDown, AsciiDoc and others github-README formats are nice but disappointingly limited (and under-specified).

Edit:

> the table of contents is typically at the start of a book, not the end.

In my culture it is typical at the end, though in last 20 years a sheer amount of translated literature which layout is copy'n'pasted form originals (by people who was not trained in classical typesetting, but learned DTP on-the-fly) somewhat change this.

If authors want to continue to support & expand their product, they need to study very diverse typesetting traditions of different countries and languages.
